V8Pete 0 Posted April 11, 2007 Hi, just wondering if anyone in their wisdom has decided to measure and draw the plate on the inlet manifold that mates to the head, and wouldn't mind sharing. I'm going down the quad throttle body route, but would rather not 'cut and shut' an existing manifold in case it goes pear shaped. Also, measuring it means taking mine off, and that means not being able to drive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should be able to get yourself a spare for about £10 + postage. Alternatively, Bogg Brothers Fabrication have made lots of bike throttle body (I presume this is the route you are taking) 8V 205 manifolds and have patterns. http://www.boggbros.co.uk/ Cheers, Ben Edited April 11, 2007 by benlilly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I pulled apart the 45s today and the TB outlet shape is a mess - it starts to taper for the head inlet port. I've heard the 43s are almost, if not exactly round so I'll have a look at them tomorrow and hopefully they'll be a goer. Thanks for the bogbros link - I might investigate buying just a cut plate off them if the postage isn't excessive. Edited April 11, 2007 by V8Pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
V8Pete 0 Posted April 11, 2007 Hmmm - have Bogbros got an email address? Probably be easier than trying to jack everything up over the phone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Richie-Van-GTi 71 2 Cars Posted April 11, 2007 (edited) I have a scrap plenum in the garage, I could hack the base plate part off and post it if it helps, should be light enough then. even that comes out at £29 for delivery.

V8Pete 0 Posted April 11, 2007 Lol, sounds like I'll be best shopping locally then, or getting off my arse, and getting the verniers out Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richie-Van-GTi 71 2 Cars Posted April 12, 2007 how about just buying a gasket, same shape and fitment etc but a lot easier and cheaper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
